Can I tell Alexa to sync my Fitbit device?

Alexa can access the data you’ve already synced, but it can’t sync the latest data from your device.

What information can Alexa tell me?

Alexa can tell your Fitbit stats for today, yesterday, or a specific day of the week that you name. Alexa can only access information you synced from your Fitbit device. For more information on syncing your device, see How do Fitbit devices sync their data?

Alexa can tell you information about the following Fitbit stats:

Steps taken

Distance covered

Active minutes

Flights climbed

Hours slept

Weight

If you exercised

Calories burned

Calories remaining

Water logged

Resting heart rate

Battery life on device

If your Fitbit device does not provide a certain type of information, such as heart rate data, Alexa will not be able to provide that stat.

How do I ask Alexa for information?

To have Alexa tell you your Fitbit stats, you can ask the following types of questions. You must tell Alexa to ask Fitbit for the information.

To trigger the Fitbit Skill for Alexa, first you must say: “Alexa, ask Fitbit.”

Then ask Alexa any question about your stats for today, yesterday, or a specific day of the week. Some phrases you can use are:

How do I switch profiles?

If you have more than one user in your Amazon Household Profile, you can ask Alexa to switch profiles so you can access your Fitbit stats. Amazon allows two adults to share a Household profile. For more information and detailed instructions, please visit the Amazon Help & Customer Service site.

Note the following requirements:

Both people in the Amazon Household must have an Amazon account.

Both people in the Amazon Household must have the Alexa app on their phone.

Both people must be logged in to their respective Fitbit accounts in the Alexa app.

To switch accounts you can say, "Alexa, switch accounts." Once your account is switched you can access your Fitbit stats as you normally would.
